Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp

Posted by NBC Sports on August 11, 2010, 10:01 AM EDT

Eagles coach Andy Reid noticed something rather distasteful out of the corner of his eye this morning: A Donovan McNabb Redskins jersey.

According to Tim McManus of Philadelphia Sports Daily, a fan named Jim Devlin was asked to take the jersey off by security. He did so quickly, and the security guard reportedly cited Reid as the reason he had to remove it. Devlin wasn’t kicked out practice.

The fan also wore the jersey to a Phillies game the other night to “make a statement” about the Eagles trade and get a reaction from people.

The guy wasn’t just a fan in the stands. He was credentialed to walk on the sideline and they ask people who get those passes not to wear other teams jerseys. That’s a reasonable and yes the guy seems to be a lame attention seeker.

RedGoneWILD says:Aug 11, 2010 10:11 AM

So wait…the Eagles trade their best QB since Cunningham for a 2nd round pick to a division rival so they can start Kolb, a guy who has started all of 2 NFL games in his career…
and this guy wearing McNabbs new jersey is the jackass?
Rosenthal, your opinions suck!

brownsfn19 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:11 AM

Are you serious?!?!? Your going to call Delvin a jackass and not Reid for maiking him TAKE OFF HIS JERSEY?!?!??! This guy can where whatever the HELL he wants!!!!
Andy Reid you are a jackass…how bout you worry about your drug addicted kids and not about what a fan is wearing in the stands…

prophet of the light says:Aug 11, 2010 10:12 AM

Should have let him walk into a real Eagles game.
That would fix that.

KILLER FIN says:Aug 11, 2010 10:12 AM

typical Philly fan got to make a statement!!!

mack408 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:13 AM

thats the lame ass Eagles own problem, you traded into the same division !!! there the ONLY team in Philly NOT to win a Championship ..and u hand a rival team a pro-bowl QB ?!?!
im suprised Andy Reid could turn his fat burrito neck that far to even notice the guy ..cry baby !!
go COWBOYS sweep the Eagles again !! yeeeee

tiger2471 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:13 AM

LMAO!!! I love this! Why is Andy mad? I mean he traded him; so why would he be upset? Donovan is washed up and Kolb is the future (yeah right) so what is the problem?

mgrammo says:Aug 11, 2010 10:14 AM

douche bag eagle and cowboy fans come to redskin games all the time wearing their old faded Terrell Owens jerseys. I love it when the skins aren’t even playing one of those teams. It’s like what is the point??

BHindEnemyLines says:Aug 11, 2010 10:14 AM

Note to Andy Reid:
This is America, buddy. Home of the all you can eat buffet and freedom of expression.
You obviously already know about the 1st concept, time to learn about the 2nd one.

ytrain says:Aug 11, 2010 10:14 AM

Jim Devlin sounds like a cool dude.

sdffa11 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:15 AM

another loser philly fan doing some dumb $hit to get attention. no wonder all other cities hate philly sports fans; because our fans act like idiots.

FalconsFan says:Aug 11, 2010 10:15 AM

An attention seeker and yet PFT and Sports Daily decide to give the guy attention.

footballisfun says:Aug 11, 2010 10:15 AM

I don’t think that’s necessarily being a big jackass. He was probably a huge McNabb fan while cheering for the Eagles over the past decade plus and is just upset with how the team handled the situation.
A jackass would have refused to take off the jersey, shouted about he has freedoms in America and been a general disruption until being forced out of the practice area.
If the Eagles believe in Kolb, if they believe in their decision they should be the ones laughing at Devlin and make it clear they’re going to beat the Redskins.

Booniemonster says:Aug 11, 2010 10:15 AM

Seriously, he’s a jackass because he wore a McNabb jersery?

HarrisonHits says:Aug 11, 2010 10:16 AM

No Gregg, you’re the jackass. WTF makes you think fans don’t have the right to sound off about a trade they feel was bad or other team screwups ?

Johnabis says:Aug 11, 2010 10:16 AM

I was upset when the eagles traded Mcnabb and wish he had one more year and all but I AM AN EAGLES FAN, not a fan of a player.
If you all of a sudden become a redskins fan because your favorite player was traded then you were never a real fan in the first place

Real Vikings fans wouldn't cheer for Favre says:Aug 11, 2010 10:17 AM

Andy Reid realizes his mistake already and couldn’t hold back the frustration.
Eagles 4-12 this year. Next time you get a franchse QB, which may take a decade, appreciate him a little more.

ImJustSaying says:Aug 11, 2010 10:18 AM

Gregg…you sir are the jackass for pointing the finger at a fan that obviously does want to make a statement that is every bit his 1st amendment right to do so.
I applaud him for doing what he did. Trading Donovan, and turning your back on the QB that made the Eagles who they were during his tenure, to a divisional team was an insult.
IMHO, Donovan McNabb is a leader who was thrown out and not shown the loyalty he gave to his team. So KUDDOS in my book to Jim Devlin. By having security to ask him to remove his jersey was petty, weak, and down right childish.
Good for him for making a statement. Is Coach Reid’s skin so thin he could not take it? This is the NFL not “Seasame Street” where everything has to be “A-OK”. Grow a pair!

Mr Krinkle says:Aug 11, 2010 10:18 AM

I am an Eagles fan. Only idiots think trading McNabb to the Redskins was a mistake. Believe me, I know a bunch of them. They all have one thing in common: stupidity.

garrettmustgo says:Aug 11, 2010 10:19 AM

What ever happened to freedom of speech, i would tell that fat tub of sh*t to take it from my back.. we all know Reid couldn’t accend that many stairs
0-3agles = Douchebags

BHindEnemyLines says:Aug 11, 2010 10:19 AM

“So yeah, Devlin is about as big a jackass as you’d expect.”
Not as big as Rosenthal; who is making a statement that anyone who “makes a statement” is one.

PittsburghSteelerz says:Aug 11, 2010 10:19 AM

Commie bastards. Everyone show up with a Redskins jersey!

Marcinik07 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:19 AM

Dumbest article yet…

realitypolice says:Aug 11, 2010 10:20 AM

Don’t suppose he got the idea from the douche bag at the Indians game last week, do you?
Why don’t these a**holes ever get pounded? 20 years ago, this guy (and certainly the guy in Cleveland) would have been lucky to get out with their lives.
I guess that means we’ve evolved a little as a society, but a small part of me misses the good old days.

Someone will when Washington plays at Philadelphia. I just hope someone gets it on video, because it will be awesome.

daPACK says:Aug 11, 2010 10:21 AM

I’m not sure why you consider this guy a jackass? He was asked to take off the jersey and he “quickly did.” Then he was kicked out…. seems odd. The guy was a fan of someone that had great success with the Eagles organization and didnt like how things were handled. This is coming from a guy that hates seeing Brett Favre Minnesota Vikings jerseys at Lambeau. Although I think the people look like tools in purple, I would never call them jackasses because they are a fan of a player

GreenAsGrass says:Aug 11, 2010 10:21 AM

I think Andy Reid and Sexy Rexy Ryan should have a fight in a boxing ring, you know dressed up in those hilarious really fat guy suits that you can hardly move around in.
Oh wait, well, let’s just forget about the suits then.

rb2k says:Aug 11, 2010 10:21 AM

mack408 says: yeeeee
cool comment buddy, you are exactly what i think of when i think of a cowboys fan.

polishkingski says:Aug 11, 2010 10:22 AM

is it me or does anyone else think this is silly? its just a goddamn jersey. way too go andy, making philly look vvvvvvvvvvery classy.

realitypolice says:Aug 11, 2010 10:22 AM

Wanted to clarify my comment. By no means do I think that guy didn’t have the right to wear that jersey. But I also reserve the right to say that guy is most likely a douchebag.

CutlerIsACryBaby says:Aug 11, 2010 10:23 AM

“So yeah, Devlin is about as big a jackass as you’d expect.”
wow, freedom speech has gone too far.

Philly Cheese says:Aug 11, 2010 10:23 AM

I don’t see how they can make the guy take the jersey off. Do football teams now have legal authority over the freedom of speech or did they draft their own constitution for their practice fields? Either way, the guy does sound like a tool and probably posts here as BigMikeSkinsFan.

AlphaQ2 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:24 AM

So the guy is a “jackass” cause he had the nerve to wear a McNabb Redskins jersey?
Sounds like Andy is a bit sensitive considering they chose to trade him in the division…Get used to seeing that jersey a lot you big dummy.

ICDogg says:Aug 11, 2010 10:24 AM

What pgcd3 said:

Buschman says:Aug 11, 2010 10:25 AM

No, he’s a jackass because he claims to be an Eagles fan but bought a Redskins jersey. Plus, he was wearing it on the sidelines because he had a field pass. He was not in the stands. It’s the right move by the Eagles.

billsfan66 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:25 AM

What’s the difference if he was wearing a Tom Brady jersey? Bet Reid wouldn’t have him take it off then.
The Eagles traded McNabb against his will. It’s not like he forced them to do it.
Grow up Reid. What’s next? Stopping all the fans at games who do it?

DonTerrelli says:Aug 11, 2010 10:27 AM

if he did that during the season he’d get his ass kicked

va4favre says:Aug 11, 2010 10:27 AM

Wow, Andy needs a hug! Favre jerseys show up at Packer games all of the time in every imaginable way. I would be stunned if they asked a fan to remove them.

argos says:Aug 11, 2010 10:27 AM

I’m saving this post as the most non news-worthy news in the history of news.
Can we get something real, like what kind of toilet paper Favre uses?

Richm2256 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:27 AM

1) Yes, the guy is an instigating, attention-grabbing douche…..
2) He has every right to wear whatever the hell jersey he wants, credentialed or not (and just how did this moron GET credentialed by the Eagles in the first place?)
3) Andy Reid is a moron for making this an issue. He traded McNabb, in essence washing his hands of the guy. Why should he care that a dumbass fan is wearing McNabb’s latest gear? If Reid is right, Eagles fans will be praising Kolb to the Football Gods this season anyway. Right?
There are nothing BUT morons in this non-story.
Then again, it involves the Iggles and Philly fans, a recipe for idiocy.

Dayton Dolfan says:Aug 11, 2010 10:27 AM

wtf?
gimme a break. its football. a guy cant wear a freking jersey to practice? this is the USA not Afghanistan. whats going to happen? Kolb is going to see the jersey and bust out in tears? DeSean is going to drop to the ground in the fetal position? what a douche move. Reid would have been out on the street if it wasnt for McNabb 5 years ago.

————————————————–
or he can WEAR it
seriously? where/wear?
thats 2nd grade stuff dude
at any rate, Big Ol Andy is probably realizing what a huge mistake he made, so he doesnt want to be reminded of it more than the 2 times the Skins hand them those L’s this season

oddchip77 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:29 AM

Eagles coach Andy Reid noticed something rather distasteful out of the corner of his eye this morning: Micheal Vick?

Staubach_Aikman_? says:Aug 11, 2010 10:29 AM

I would have let him wear it. If you are going to make a decision, live with it. The eagles traded their best QB in the superbowl era to a division rival. If the decision was the right one, the proof will be evident during the season, and everyone will remember him being a chucklehead. If Kolb falls on his face, and McNabb has even passable numbers, I imagine there will be a lot of eagles fans where redskins jerseys.
The better question is, he’s an eagles fan, what do you expect? They boo Santa Claus.

Gregg your a damn jackass because I said so, Reid you need to get use to the burgundy and gold Mcnabb jerseys because they are one of the most sold jerseys out so this will not be your last time seeing one, oh and how are your crack head so s doing?

pats suck, blow and cheat* says:Aug 11, 2010 10:31 AM

That’s nothing at like the a-hole who wore the LeBron Heat jersey to an Indians game.
Hey Reid, you traded #5 remember? Nice to see a fan support a plyr instead of just laundry.
What an insecure franchise….

JWu says:Aug 11, 2010 10:32 AM

The guy is a nudge stirring up trouble. He’s a walking troll and is now being fed. Congrats.
If Andy had picked out a guy in the stands (as opposed to someone allowed on the practice field) I’d have an issue.
So, I’d bet that headline a lie. He isn’t banning McNabb/Redskin jerseys from training camp, just from the field where they could be a distraction form the work going on.

chrisritch says:Aug 11, 2010 10:32 AM

The only JACKASS’S in this story are Gregg Rosenthal & Andy Reid…..

packfan4ever says:Aug 11, 2010 10:33 AM

the only jackass here is andy reid who became irate for seeing devlin in the mcnabb jersey. if he was secure with his own team and kolb he wouldn’t have cared or even laughed it off. i’d compare reid to an insecure jealous boyfriend here who gets mad at his girl when she looks at another guy.

wydok says:Aug 11, 2010 10:34 AM

@numberfour: Yes, the 1st Amendment allows free speech. But the Eagles are not run by Congress.
As for whether he should take off the jersey…
You should see the reaction someone got for wearing a Rapistburger jersey to Training Camp on July 31st. There wasn’t a fight, but he was booed and harassed constantly by fans in the stands.

Gallagher says:Aug 11, 2010 10:35 AM

Dude, the only jackasses I see are the ones commenting on here. Learn how to spell, you no-talent-ass-clowns. Jesus, its like recess hour at the local community college.
And @mgrammo, who are you to worry about opposing fans at FedEx (the Eagles’ home away from home)? I am there every year for the Eagles game, and our fans put your fans to shame. The worst thing about the skins, second to their owner of course, is their rediculous excuse for fans. Go back to watching soccer, and let the real fans enjoy our football. Keep your boxed wine and PDAs at home in your overpriced high-rise apartments, or at least in your fuel-efficient subarus. TOOLS!
Go Birds!

seaner44 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:36 AM

how in the world does that make him a jackass? The only jackass is the one who wrote the article and threw his own two cents in for no good reason at the end!!

FlorioObjection says:Aug 11, 2010 10:37 AM

Rosenthal is a notorious clown….yes, he is the one who seeks the attention.

sneaux49 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:39 AM

Brownfn19 that was uncalled for. Terrible representation of Browns fans, which I am one.

Is this the same Jim Devlin who sued Medicare for denying him penis enlargement surgery?

steveoz49 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:43 AM

Seems to me that Andy has more things to worry about than what jersey someone is wearing in the crowd……
Since when does it matter what someone wears anyways? Can’t we be a fan of a player and a team? I doubt anyone is complaining about someone wearing a #4 Viking jersey at a GB practice. There’s more important things to worry about here….

mad555 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:43 AM

That was for his own safety… There are 15,000 EAGLES FANS at training camp everyday. And they are not timid about ostrasizing any opposing fans. It was more of a disrespect actor than anything. Go to Racistskins camp and wear that trash.
FAIL RACISTSKINS!

WetHog says:Aug 11, 2010 10:43 AM

Seems a bit odd that Reid would make a point to ask a security guard to make the guy take off the jersey. A little over sensative IMO.

SuckitFlorio says:Aug 11, 2010 10:44 AM

you people are missing the point… he wasnt some fan in the stands, he was on the sidelines. Do you honestly think they would ever let someone on the sidelines of a game with the other teams jersey on?
Pay attention people…

ShootahCowboy says:Aug 11, 2010 10:45 AM

Let me preface by saying that even though I hate the Eagles with every cell in my body, this is not an Eagle hating response…
Are you kidding me? After all the years that McNabb gave to that franchise? What about the people that can’t afford to buy a new jersey and all they have are McNabb jerseys?
If they had just ignored it, the “nudge” would have nothing to “nudge” with and it would be a non-issue. Usually the Eagles front office makes good decisions, but this is not one of them.

Mangy66 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:45 AM

Wow Gregg…
Sounds more like you have a personal problem.
How is he a jackass for wearing another team’s jersey?
Come to a Redskins practice and check out the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants jerseys that show up.
We may have been the target of a lot of jokes and the Redskins have earned that distinction…but at least we’re going to respect fans and their choice of team (or player, in this case) affiliation.
And yet you call him a jackass. He took the jersey off when asked.
I got one for you…why don’t you write a post about the fans at games that wear basketball or soccer jerseys. At your thought level, that should be even more egregious of a slight.
Moron.

Andys mad because the day he made the trade Andy stole his kid stach got all high and traded the wrong QB . He ment to trade Vick but I guess when your high they all look the same

Old School says:Aug 11, 2010 10:46 AM

As a Packer fan, I have nothing but disgust for BrINT. But if sombody sat next to me at a game wearing a BrINT Jets or Viking Jersey – it’s his right.
We’ve lost a lot of freedoms in this country, but God help us if it’s come to restricting fan loyalty. Andy Reid has some serious issuse.

@realitypolice,
Actually you make the case of yourself being a massive a-hole. Last I knew people still had a right to free speech in the US, and the right to expect go to a game(practice) wearing their favorite team or player’s jersey without threat of getting beaten up.
You sir clearly never made it past the 8 year old schoolyard bully phase of your life. I feel sorry that your mental development stopped at that early age.

mgbleedsgreen says:Aug 11, 2010 10:48 AM

If you read the article – the security guard said that it was Andy Reid’s request – wouldn’t be shocked if he just said that as a joke – the real reason being, as a security person, he didn’t want trouble from a fan that didn’t think his shirt was funny. Do you seriously think Andy Reid gives a crap or even notices what’s going on in the stands – seriously, think about it… Crap reporting… as usual…

CdnMike says:Aug 11, 2010 10:49 AM

Rosenthal,
You sir are the jackass! I can’t believe you said that. What makes this guy a jackass? He showed his displeasure by wearing a jearsey and took it off when asked.
What’s wrong with you? I instantly can’t stand you Rosenthal.

Bucknut says:Aug 11, 2010 10:51 AM

@ realitypolice – well said. I miss the old days too.

Kolb to Jackson says:Aug 11, 2010 10:53 AM

Andy Reid did the right thing. The eagles team is young and don’t need any distractions from the fans at training camp.
Jim Devlin was a walking trool. He’s the biggest jackass running around wearing Mcnabbs’ redskins jersey at the eagles training camp.

Chapnasty. says:Aug 11, 2010 10:53 AM

If this guy is a jackass I would hate to hear what you consider yourself Greggers

I agree Chrisritch,
Rosenthal and Ried are the ONLY JACKASSES!

yem123 says:Aug 11, 2010 10:55 AM

I don’t think the guy is a jackass… he is paying to see his team and has the right to express his opinion. Much better than booing, in my opinion.

Dawkphan says:Aug 11, 2010 10:56 AM

Much ado about nothing. I do think that this guy is an attention grabbing douche. If he were in the stands it wouldn’t be an issue, but to be on the sidelines is a privilege and you are expected to follow the rules or lose the privilege that is understandable. And DAPACK the post said that he WAS’NT kicked out, he was just asked to remove it. I’m not against it , I think the Eagles have that right.

HornedHelmet says:Aug 11, 2010 10:57 AM

Andy Reid should be policing his drug dealing sons, not a fan in the stands who pays good money for a jersey.

Krow says:Aug 11, 2010 11:00 AM

Shouldn’t some classy Eagle fan get a few beers in him and then sucker punch the guy when his back is turned?

east96street. says:Aug 11, 2010 11:00 AM

Did McNabb force a trade? No. Did McNabb bad mouth the team and organization? No. Has Reid been adamant that the right move was made? Yes. Has the organization been adamant that the trade was a fair one? Yes. Have the players announced to the press they supported the trade and it was time to let Kolb play? Yes. So, why is Reid upset and how is it a distraction? McNabb has been the perfect gentleman and the Eagles claim to be pleased with the change. Honestly, if McNabb manages to beats Philly behind that paper mache O line they have in Washington, with their million year old RB lineup, and those sorry ass WRs, everyone connected to the trade should be fired on the spot. The only thing McNabb has going for him in DC is the defense and, unfortunately for Donovan, Fat Al doesn’t catch passes.

mcat13 says:Aug 11, 2010 11:02 AM

IDIOTS! He was on the team SIDELINES. Stop talking about free speech. You think Urban Meyer would let a guy wear an Alabama jersey on his sideline. If he was in the stands no one would care

leon says:Aug 11, 2010 11:06 AM

If Kolb loses the first three games there will be plenty of Eagles fans in the stands wearing McNabb jerseys.

jcurran77 says:Aug 11, 2010 11:06 AM

Not a fan of the Eagles, but I like this story. And I am pretty sure you are the jack ass for that last comment. Who cares if he wears the jersey?

Bearsss says:Aug 11, 2010 11:07 AM

How can you call Devlin a jackass? He has every right to wear what every jersey he wants. Reid and the organization made the decision to trade McNabb now they need to man up and take the criticism that comes with it. To make matters worse, they traded him to a division rival which basically slaps all of the faces of the McNabb Eagle fans. I hope the Skins beat them the Eagles twice this year.

PFTiswhatitis says:Aug 11, 2010 11:08 AM

Gotta agree with the other posters Gregg. He is hardly a jackass for wearing what he wants in the stands regardless of his motives.
Now if he was on the sidelines with a pass, that is different story.

SomeGuyInIowa says:Aug 11, 2010 11:08 AM

Ha! People are screaming freedom ofspeach for the jersey guy but condemning Rosenthal for calling the guy a jackass. Classic!

jrmbadger says:Aug 11, 2010 11:09 AM

To all the posters on here talking about his first amendment rights ….. Maybe you should read the first amendment.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”
Where exactly does it say that a PRIVATE PARTY cannot control someone else’s expression on PRIVATE PROPERTY?
First Amendment only applies to the Government. Last I checked the Eagles were not a Government entity.
Its the same reason Florio can delete, remove, and otherwise mess with comments on this site.
The Eagles have every right to ask this guy to leave.

First, Delvin is a jackass for not being a true Eagles fan. Second, in this country, you can’t wear whatever you want, it always depends on the place (have you ever heard of a dress code?) Third, Andy Reid’s kids have nothing to do with this article, so its a mute point. Fourth, bringing attention to yourself in a negative way is not the way to go. Fifth, a true Eagles fan should have some respect and show support to our new QB.
I wasn’t pleased when the Eagles got rid of Dawkins, but I definately wouldn’t go out and waste money on a another team’s jersey. I have an EAGLES Dawkins jersey and would wear that to a game.

I wish Andy Reid and his sons would all just vanish, i dont care how…….thats what your worried about? Making a guy take off his McNabb Redskins jersey, i cant put into words how ridiculous that is.

AR is a petty trifeling bitch. What a waste. Hope he regrets what a female he made himself out to be by concerning himself with what another man was wearing. Who cares about the stupid freaking jersey?

JimmySmith says:Aug 11, 2010 11:40 AM

This is from a franchise that constructed peep holes for their security guards to look into the cheerleader’s dressing room. The Eagles just ooze class and professionalism.
From the dog killa to Andy Ried’s kids, they are model citizens for the rest of us to emulate.

I am a die hard Redskins fan. I cannot stand immature (keep our self proclaimed bad rep going) Eagles fans. That being said though I think they had the right to tell this guy to take the jersey off.
This is not a freedom of speech issue it’s immature behavior and an obvious distraction. It’s one thing to wear it during a game in a very public forum, but when a team grants you a sideline pass you had better be respectful. If I were the Eagles I would have told him to leave the field immediately. Something to be said about respect. Am I the only person on here who is under the age of 30 and thinks this dude is a punk for wearing the jersey?
I have had a sideline pass to a Redskins game and walked right by Dan Snyder. At the time I could not stand the guy but if I told him to his face he was an ass I would have expected to be removed. Just go enjoy yourself and save the fighting for the parking lots where it belongs…
This coming from a Redskins fan.

dbartdog says:Aug 11, 2010 11:46 AM

Pretty dumb….trading McNabb…VERY dumb trading him to Washington. This one is gonna bite the Eagles right in their tail feathers, IMO!

footballisfun says:Aug 11, 2010 11:47 AM

The Lebron fan in Cleveland situation is 100% different.
The Cavs did everything they could to keep Lebron and he left. He said, sorry guys, not good enough.
The Eagles traded away and replaced McNabb. Not comparable at all

Blackbeard says:Aug 11, 2010 11:49 AM

The Eagles probably had several passes hit the ground, Reid looked around and saw McNabb in Redskins colors and was confused by the deja vu…but then realized it was just a douche and told him to quit giving his team bad mojo!

If he was a fan in the stands , I don’t see the team or Reid having any right to make him remove it . If he was on the sideline as part of the team activity , then they have the right to ask him to leave the sideline . I don’t think the guy was an ass , don’t be so sensative Reid , screw him . I hope Kolb fails , just to see Reid get fired .

CaptainMarvel says:Aug 11, 2010 11:56 AM

It’s so hard being the runt of the litter, the also-ran, the afterthought. Throughout the Super Bowl era, or at least since the early ’80s, the NFC East has been considered by many to be the toughest division in football. The division accounts for 40% of all NFC champions and 25% of all Super Bowl champions. The Eagles are the only member of the division without a Super Bowl victory. They are the franchise equivalent of the Manning brother who can’t play quarterback.
It’s no wonder Philly fan is broken and bitter. The ones I know still point to the infamous “body bag” game against the Redskins as some kind of high-water mark for the franchise. Somehow they never get to the part where the Redskins ended the Eagles season in the playoffs and Buddy Ryan got fired a few weeks later. Oh, the memories – regular season bullies, postseason patsies – your Philadelphia Eagles!
No matter how many trips Andy makes to the Waffle House, Philly fan cannot escape his team’s legacy. With apologies to Chuck Bednarik and his championship teammates, the post-1960 Eagles have produced an unbelievable record of futility and failure. Philly fan is left only with a crippling anger and an incurable case of franchise envy. Philly fan, do you get any cold comfort from Dick Vermeil’s Super Bowl championship with a real franchise? Hail!

Ok, I’m saying this as a HUGE Cowboys fan here.
For all you Eagles fans saying “I wihs he would do that at a game, he’d get his ass kicked, that is pretty much why every other sports city hates your city. You guys can be very ignorant. It would be absolutely ridiculous to fight a guy over the jersey he was wearing. It would make you a piece of sh!t and makes your whole city look bad.
For all you Eagles fans saying that he should have been forced to take the jersey off because he was on the field’s side lines and was credentials, you are absolutely right. Do you think the cowboys would let some guy with a Redskins jersey roam our sidelines during practice? Hell no. If I was Big Andy i’d have done the same exact thing.
I hate the Eagles, well mostly the fans (the ignorant ones that is) but I love the rivalry and the fierce competition there is in every game we play against each other. It’s what makes the game, THE game.

buddha says:Aug 11, 2010 12:42 PM

Why do Eagles haters want to make it sound like trading McNabb is the end of the world for Philly? Its not like we’re losing McNabb and all of his Super Bowl titles! He never won the big one and he ran the same offense for 11 years so I think it was time for a change. Kolb has a lot of potential and a lot of young weapons that he can be teamed up with for years to come. Its funny because these same haters are the same people that have been saying McNabb and the Eagles suck. Now that we traded him, all of the sudden McNabb is this great QB that we’ll greatly miss. Hate on HATERS, hate on. Give Kolb a chance before you run your mouths. 3,500+ yards for Kolb this season. 25-30 TD’s. I think he’ll have some big stats this season. I know he’ll make some BIG mistakes as well, but what QB doesnt?

teeg01 says:Aug 11, 2010 12:43 PM

Devlin was looking for attention and looking from trouble. He either wanted to get on the news. Or looking for a lawsuit when some drunken idiot takes a few swings at him.
Wear the McNabb Redskin jersey, at Washington’s camp. There’s your free speech.

ejtowne says:Aug 11, 2010 12:43 PM

Andy Reid is the JACKASS!! If I were Devlin, I would sue the SH-T out of the Eagles and or Andy Reid. What does it say on that piece of paper, you know that thing called the constitution of independence? What right does Reid have to tell someone what they can or can’t wear? I think Devlin is the man. Somebody finaly had the balls to speak up about the giant mistake made by Philly.

Harold of the Rocks says:Aug 11, 2010 12:45 PM

Well, at least the Cowboys fan knows the deal. Can you imagine what Jerry Jones would think seeing an Eagles/Giants/Redskins jersey on his sideline? This just in: No other head coach (or owner) would have done anything differently to a person on the sidelines.
Donovan McNabb didn’t want to leave Philly. He said it constantly, “I want to retire in an Eagles uniform.” For anyone who thinks Eagles fans will get accosted for wearing a DM Redskins jersey, you’re crazy.
During week 11, when the Eagles are 4-7, the stands will be LOADED with DM Redskins jerseys, all worn by Eagles fans expressing their displeasure with the trade.
I’m an Eagles fan who thinks Kevin Kolb is not the future of the team. McNabb’s legs are made of glass, and his aim was a bit too low. It was time for him to go. I wish him well during the first 2 games he remains uninjured (the only 2 games he’ll play all year). That said, we’re going to have our own QB blues this season too.

Larry says:Aug 11, 2010 12:55 PM

Hey, I’m all for Jim Devlin…he is allowed to wear whatever he wants….even on the sidelines. Reid, get off your high horse, after all, you orchestrated the trade ?? Now, if he had asked the guy to take the jersey off, and offered him a current Eagles player jersey to appease the crowd and Devlin, that’s fine…Otherwise, Andy….let it go…(like you did Donovan, not that I blame you).

Beast Of The East says:Aug 11, 2010 12:56 PM

@Gallager
How many superbowls has the eagles won? Skins fans know nothing about football? That comment alone speaks to your intelligence level. DC is football and the tradition there can be compared with that of the packers, steelers, raiders and other proud franchises. All Super Bowl Winning Teams. The difference is we don’t turn on our own team year after year. He is the only QB to have won as much as he has in the history of the eagles and you are going to make the statement that Redskins fans should watch soccer? How about knowing enough about football to know that Donovan stats and winning percentages are up there with the like of P Manning and T BRady you ignorant fool. We know enough to appreciate what a QB like DMac brings to the table. Cannot wait to see the Eagles choke yet again. BTW I am a Redskins Fan who knows enough about football to know that the Eagles have never won a Super Bowl. Yes they did win championships in 1948, 1949, and 1960. Oh but wait that was over 50 years ago and they were super bowls. Your own fans admit you are the most 2 faced, back stabbing, unloyal fans in the league. All evidence supports that statement when you morons called for the ousting of the best QB you have ever had. Prove how much you know about football and say Cunningham or Jaworski was better.

Stone says:Aug 11, 2010 1:08 PM

Why is he a jackass??? Its about time someone in that godforsaken fan base shows some loyalty and respect to the best QB that franchise has ever seen. As a Giants fan, I have nothing but admiration and respect for how McNabb carried himself in that city throughout his career there. They booed him and blamed him mercilessly for never winning a Superbowl. Thing is, they never would have been that close without him. McNabb is one of the few NFL players that I can honestly say that I respect and admire.

David LeFebvre says:Aug 11, 2010 1:14 PM

If a stripper had been on the field wearing a string bikini, Reid probably would’ve had security ask her to put some clothes on. If someone had wrapped themselves in aluminum foil, and it was creating bright glares in the players’ eyes, he would’ve had that person take off the foil. Anything that is a potential distraction from the task at hand (which is getting the players ready for a season of professional football) should be remedied by the staff. Reid did the right thing, and it’s been blown out of proportion. It’s a non-story.

What do you do in the dozens upon dozens of, by your own standards, POINTLESS years? (e.g. those years where your beloved ‘Skins accomplish ANY THING less than winning the SB) I mean, why would a Redskins fan even watch continue watching games if they are going to result in nothing but disappointment all but three times?
One could say that “The times we DID win, makes all the losing worth the torture.” Or “We polish our trophies!” or “Revel in our past glory days!” But, why not skip watching the games from week to week, wait to see if your team wins it all and only then, buy the DVD of the season so your time and attention is worth something?
It’s a shame that one might disregard the Eagles’ role in the 99-09 span as simply a spoiler, mostly eating up the top or wildcard spot in the playoffs, keeping the other 3 NFC East teams from having, as you define it, any type of successful season. I saw a lot of great Eagles games in that decade.
The Phillies lost to the Yankees in the WS last year. They won it the year before. I’m glad I followed both years, Championship or not.

Simon12345 says:Aug 11, 2010 1:27 PM

Wow…I remember when Snyder made fans remove critical signs from Fed Ex field; some even got kicked out. Snyder was villified for that action and rightfully so. It showed a real thin skinned weakness on his part.
The same goes for Reid. If you can’t take a little criticism, then you have a problem. Plus, why be so irked if you think you did the right thing with the trade?

CTEagle says:Aug 11, 2010 6:06 PM

If the guy was in the general viewing area, I doubt he would have been asked to change jerseys. He had sideline passes given by the Eagles. With these passes comes an understanding that you don’t make the Eagles organization look bad as your standing on the sidelines. As I understand it, it is the case with most teams. I once went to a Jets pre-season game vs the Eagles, and we were given sideline passes for the pre-game warmups. I was asked (by the guy that brought me….Jets gave him the tickets) not to wear anything disrespectful to the Jets organization, so I didn’t wear any Eagle hats, shirts etc…figured it was the least I could do…they gave him the tickets.
I read that the guy was wearing a red Kolb practice jersey in the afternoon session….I’m sure the organization gave it to him in appreciation of his removal of the Redskins McNabb jersey.

I am a 25 year season ticket holder for the Eagles and have every intention of wearing my Donovan McNabb jersey to the game. I also intend to stand and cheer for Donovan if he does well and YES I even hope he wins a super bowl before the Eagles. I encourage fans from opposing teams to where there teams jersey with pride and sit with us. Not everyone is a jerk and if the Philly fan is with them, there really isn’t a reason to worry about it. On a different note, Is there a Philly superstar that can actually end his career here without being traded ……..Barkley, White, Iverson, McNabb. Whatever I am tired of it all and YES I support Donovan and wish him nothing but the best. I am an Eagles fan but I plan to wear my Donovan jersey to the Redskins game, I can’t really show support for him any other way. It’s a jersey – just get over it.

Therefore that access can be controlled by the Eagles in pretty much any manner they want. For that matter the same goes for those tickets you buy to the stadium. While they tend to be pretty lax about what you can and can not wear or say, there are definite limits that go beyond the laws of free speech because those laws do NOT APPLY there! You have been granted access to a stadium owned by someone else, and if they do not like what you are saying, they can remove that right.

You people commenting on the drug problems of Andy’s kids are classless and brainless.

Lookout, it’s Charlton Heston, back from the grave.
OK, Tex, this ain’t a poltical thread about gun control, it’s a lighthearted look at pro football. Put the gun back in the holster now before you hurt someone.

Been following the Eagles for49 years. Trading McNabb, and trading him in the division, is THE singularly stupidest thing I have ever seen them do. Bear in mind I watched them let Reggie White go so I am setting the bar very high! Like another fan said, when they are losing, you are going to see LOTS of Donovan’s Redskins jerseys all around Philadelphia. It is a form of fan protest to let the Eagles’ management know that they REALLY screwed up again. The Eagles have the right to remove those fans off of the sidelines if they wish, but, they end up looking like the thin skinned jackasses here…

I was actually looking for this resource a few weeks back. Thanks for sharing with us your wisdom.This will absolutely going to help me in my projects .

way to stay classy Philly! Trade the guy away and then don’t let the fans tell you their displeasure. Sounds like Government work to me.

Grow a pair of hairy ones Andy and stop being such a puss. Big deal, somebody wore a Skins McNabb jersey to the event. Perhaps your doughnut level was too low and you were cranky. Hell, if it bothered you that bad, why didn’t you send Mike the dog killer and his posse over to rough him up and/or shot him up

Feel a lot love (brotherly) in the room, but don’t get the sense this earns a place in the storied annals of Redskin-Eagle lore.
Guess it’s time to cut prices on the #4 jersey at the Link this fall.
Big round of applause for Gregg Rosenthal, your minister of anti-jackassness.

hey idiots:
he was an *invited* *VIP* *guest* with a *sideline pass*. ANY team in the NFL would have done the same.
Also, it’s been reported by Sal Pal, who was right there when it happened, that Reid had *absolutely nothing* to do with any of this. A security guard asked the guy to remove the shirt.

Should have let him walk into a real Eagles game.
That would fix that.

Someone will when Washington plays at Philadelphia. I just hope someone gets it on video, because it will be awesome.

As a Steelers fan living in Baltimore wearing her Steelers jersey at work (because it’s the Friday before a game day), I have to say you can wear any jersey you want anywhere you want to wear it–whether you’re a jackass or not.
However, you have to put up with the consequences of wearing it–whether it’s being teased (like what’s happening to me today) or having your life threatened (like what would happen if you wore an opposing team’s jersey in Philly)

Curtains? Why? Because your franchise has been a LAUGHINGSTOCK of the NFC since Mel the Midget bought them?
Why not talk shit? Because ALL SKINS FANS DO IS TALK SHIT. They have no other recourse but just talk a good game after watching an abortion of ANOTHER double digit loss season.
Do you think it’s pure coincidence that the playoff years for the SkinFlints since ’99 were because Philadelphia had rare “down” years? Look it up, halfwit.
You can HAVE Low Throw McBlow. The non-nitwit ( obviously this idiot Devlin is excluded) fanbase saw all they needed to the last two weeks of the year. Good luck with that.
Let’s chalk this up on the board, shall we? You actually think LTM is going to have a better year with the cast of Cocoon at RB, a WR corps littered with underachievement and past it’s prime performance, not to mention a TE that is coming off of a season ending broken leg last year? When he had OVERWHELMINGLY better skill people on his former team?
Yeah. Hope that works out for ya.

I got the feeling Rosenthal was being sarcastic with the jackass comment. Either way, I remember seeing a legitimate article that asked “was McNabb good or bad for Philadelphia.” You only get that kind of “opinion” in Philly. People have legitimate, personal hatred for him for not winning a Super Bowl. He’s a good guy and he played hard for the franchise. There’s no reason not to celebrate him.

This is cracking me up – two of the most BORING teams in the NFL – the Eagles and Redskins. Whenever I can’t sleep – I flip on one of their games and ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz – off to never never land it is. Maybe the Redskins will actually score more than 10 points a game this year

Cisko says:Aug 15, 2010 1:37 PM

This comment is directed to “PackerandDarian”..I’ve been to Philly for a skins game, you guys are all the same..it’s all verbal diarrhea. You’ve become so bitter because you NEVER won shit, you just come up with all these comparisons and jokes to make yourselves feel better..bottom line is the results of the last ten years is zero championships, for both of us…And you just handed over one of the only reasons that the eagles were that good over that period(Westbrook was huge). He may be old, but he’s not done. Only thing that’s done is your chances of going to the superbowl this year..not saying we’re anywhere closer to that eithere. Just wake up philly fans..YOU HAVE ZERO SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONSHIPS!! Skins=3, Boys=5, Gmen=3, philly=bitter.
P.S. We won a playoff game in 05 and went again in 07..so get your facts straight
